Greenpeace and You

On this page

Background - 21 October, 2011

The people who make up Greenpeace are a diverse and committed bunch. Our volunteers, activists and staff span the globe, cover the age spectrum, and defy simple categorisation. What they all have in common is the one big aim: a green and peaceful future for all.

Over the years, they have faced jail, physical threats and political persecution in return for their courage, but our answer has always been the same: action based on principle, an absolute commitment to non-violence, and integrity.

But our campaigns wouldn’t be nearly as effective without what’s going on behind what everyone sees. That’s where our staff come in.
